ASP currently has stock of the 2008 Jukurrpa diary and calendar. Order from us or directly from IAD Press at http://www.iad.edu.au/press/iadpresshome.htm.

Jukurrpa - pronounced joo'-kur-pa (with the 'oo' as in put') is the Warlpiri spelling of the word which means 'Dreaming;, 'Story' or 'Law' in some Central Australian languages. (It is also spelt Tjukurpa in Pitjantjatjara and Tjukurrpa in Pintupi). All life and laws by which people live were created in the Jukurrpa by the ancestral beings who made the land and whose essence remains in the land.
